Jim Arche’s feature debut, a hit at Sundance, follows Brian, a lonely inventor in rural Wales who tackles his own loneliness through a quirky new contraption: Charles. This artificially intelligent robot learns English from a dictionary and has an obsession with cabbages. This effects-free sci-fi comedy becomes an entirely heartwarming story about friendship, family, finding love, and letting go. (U.K., 2022, 90m)
“An endlessly charming, funny, and delightfully lo-fi British comedy.” –Slashfilm
